It should generate an event to /proc/acpi/event, and the easiest way to use that
is to use acpid.  check syslog for messages from acpid, which correspond to
unprocessed events.

iirc, sometimes you might only get an event on pushing the suspend button, in
which case you run a script that completes the suspend, then sleeps a couple of
seconds, then runs hwclock to reset the clock.
